ToRoNTo's PROTEST.
TORONTO, May IA public meeting was
held this afternoon in Queens Park to pro-
test against William O'Brens action in
coming to this city for the purpose of ex-
| citlng hostile feeling against the Governor
| General. The meeting was attended by be-
tween 1900 and $1,000 people. The pro-
ceedings We're characterized by the
| greatest enthusiasm and perfect order;
} In fact it was the most orderly
public meeting ever held in the city. The
| speakers were listened to intently and there
| We're no unseenly Interruptions. Mayor
Rowland presided and on the platform with
nm I'm were the Bishop of Toronto, Bishop of
Algoma, Prof Goodwin Smith, Rev. Pro-
vost Cody and Rev. Prof. Clarke of Trinity
College, Rev. G. NJ. Mulhgan, Rev. DR..
Thomas, Rev. Dr. Potts, Rev. Canon Dam
oulin, and many other elergymen and promi-
nent citizens.
| THE FIRST RESOLUTIONS.
| After the Mayor had read the proclama-
ton calling the meeting, the Bishop of
Algoma moved the first resolutions, as fol-
| lows:
That this meeting repudiates the action
OF William O'Brien in visiting this city for
| the purpose of exciting a hostile feeling
against his excellency, the Governor Gen
eral, on account Of differences between his
excellency and his tenants in Irelund and ex-
presses its entire and undated confidence in
the high character of his excellency,
the Marquis Of Lansdowne, and In
ms fitness to represent her majesty in
| Canada.
His lordship, in moving the resolution,
| protested against the great wrong, unblush-
ing indecency and audacious impertinenee
about to be perpetrated by Mr.. O'Brien in
coming to Toronto, and said this fair
dominion was not the home of rebels. Mr..
| O'Brien's coming was founded on falsehood
and hypocrisy"
| H. E. Clarke, Member of Parliament, sec
onded the resolution, which was supported
! tremendous cheering and the waving of
hats. Only about twenty hands in the vast
throng were held up against the resolution.
CONFIDENCE IN PARLIAMENT.
Prof. Goodwin Smith moved a
second resolution, as follows:
| THAT this meeting looks with perfect conf
| dence to the Parliament of the United King
dom for wise and just settlement of all
questions relating to Ireland"
He said that while willing to give all
benefits to Irish citizens, he wanted to be
| done with this trucking to the Irish vote.
| Speaking of Mr.. O'Brien, he said they did
| NOT want tn bavn bic avcaIlapoy al Nv
men stepped in venom and with lips enven-
omed with untruth.
Rev. DR.. Potts, in seconding the resolu-
ton, made a speech which reused the audi
ence to the widest enthusiasm He asked,
shall the Fenians of the United States, rep
resented by O'Donovan Rosa, settle this
| perplexing Irish question, or shall their sec
ond cousins in Canada settle it! [Cries of
"Neverm and cheers No, the settlement
OF the question rests with the British Par
| lament, but before one concession is given
they must first and foremost insist that
British law and order must be maintained.
CARRIED ENTHUSIASTICALLY.
Rev. g. NJ Milligan supported the resolu-
ton, which was put and carried amidst ire
mendous cheering Only one or two hands
were held up against it.
Rev. Canon Damoulin, in moving that
copies of the resolutions be transmitted
to his excellency, the Governor General,
and to Lord Salisbury as Prime Minister of
Great Britain, made the most effective
| speech of any. He charged the trouble in
Ireland not to landlords but to the tenants,
who were moonlighers, boycotters, etc. He
said Mr.. O'Brien was coming for the foul
| and audaciouS purpose of melting loyal
citizens to rebellion by parade
of blatant and impudent falsehoods, and the
very purpose of his visit was an outrageous
| lie. He characterized Mr.. OBrien as one of
the most audacious liars of the present time.
| The resolution was seconded by James L.
Hughes, Public School Inspector, and car
ried amidst great cheering.
A FAIR HEARING REFUSED.
Mayor Rowland then addressed the meet
| ing, thanking them for their orderly be-
! havior, and urging them, amid cries of
''never," to give Mr.. O'Brien fair hearing
if he came here A vote of thanks to the
Mayor for presiding brought the meeting to
| a close.
Three rousing cheers aid tiger were then
| given amidst great enthusiasm and waving
OF hats for the Queen and Lord Lansdowne
and then the vast multitude with uncovered
heads joined in singing the national an
| them.
| Mayor Rowland has sent the following
cablegram to Lord Salisbury:
"a great mass meeting in Queens Park,
| Toronto, reprobateS O'Briens mission and
expresses confidence in Lord Lansdowne,
| and also looks with confidence TO the Brit
| ish Parliament for a wise and just settle
ment of the Irish question"
